Appalachian Trail 2020 (Class of Covid-19) Bloggers/Vloggers

I have compiled a list of Appalachian Trail NOBO (Northbound) bloggers and bloggers (now called the Class of Covid-19 since we all had to readjust our hikes) that will be hiking the trail in 2020 (and beyond thanks to Covid-19). Follow me and the rest of my original 2020 classmate’s journey to Maine!

NOTICE: Due to COVID-19, almost all Appalachian Trail 2020 NOBO Bloggers / Vloggers listed below have left the trail until this blows over and they can return. Please support them, by still continuing to subscribe to their YouTubes and follow them on their other social media channels. They would greatly appreciate it!

If you are a Class of Covid-19 2020 AT Thru-Hiker and plan on either blogging or vlogging and would like your information listed below (or need to correct it), please fill out the form located at the bottom of the listings and don’t forget to join our 2020 NOBO(ish) Facebook Group

Hikers are listed by Trail Name (if they already have one), with real name listed in the information they provide.
